Knox County lawyer Jonathan William Doolan received a public censure on July 15 after the Tennessee Supreme Court found that he violated Rules of Professional Conduct 1.1, 1.3, 1.16, 3.2, 3.4, 8.1 and 8.4. According to the court, Doolan filed a lawsuit for a client in Knox County Circuit Court. An answer was filed but he took no further action. Three years later, the trial court issued notice of a trial date. Doolan did not appear at the scheduled trial. Neither the court nor opposing counsel were aware that his law license had been suspended.
